If you want to help out with the packaging, subscribe to the
packaging@gluster.org [0] list to get notifications about new releases.
All packages are currently maintained on GitHub [1]. Have a look at the
main glusterfs package [2], it has a README and several branches for the
different versions. Once a new version is available from the Gluster
Community, reply to the packaging list to inform us that you want to
take care of it. You will have to react fast, we try to package the new
versions as soon as possible after the release. Send a PullRequest with
the updated .spec so that we can review and merge it.

We do have a Gluster container in the CentOS Container Index [3], but
would like to have different versions. At the moment, we actively
maintain Gluster versions 3.10, 3.12, 3.13 and are preparing for 4.0.
Ideally we should have a container for each version.

I do not know what is possible for VM images. Maybe we can provide a
Vagrant box [4], but you would have to find out what is needed for that.

be able to assist with getting you started.
